WARNING:

Texsport tent fabrics are flame retardant treated per C.P.A.I.-84 specification. However, for your safety, we recommend that NO OPEN
FLAME BE USED IN OR NEAR YOUR TENT.

OME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

S

Make sure you stake the tent (with the tent stakes included) in windy weather, or if you anticipate afternoon winds coming up while you
are away from your campsite. Stake one corner, then stake each consecutive corner in a clockwise rotation. Make sure the tent remains
tight. Always place your tent a safe distance from your campfire - unstaked tent placed upwind of the fire can be blown into the fire. Tent

laced downwind of the fire are often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight fabrics of your tent.

p

WATERPROOFING YOUR TENT:

Texsport tents are made from coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all tent fabrication, can cause
water leakage where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the tent will leak. Every new tent
needs to be seam sealed to make it water tight. We recommend using Texsport Spray Waterproofing/Seam Sealer which may be found
at your local outdoor outfitter or camping store.

STEP 8 - Do this to all 4 sides of the tent.

TENT STAKES:

All tents should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your tent are effective for most conditions; however, specialized stakes are
recommended in certain cases:

a. Sand Stakes: ....Long broad stakes designed to hold in loose sand.

b. Steel Stakes:......Most effective in hard, rocky or frozen soil. These can rust and their sharp edges could damage the tent if stored

........................with the tent. In extremely hard soil a steel rod can be used to make the starter hole.

c. Skewer Stakes: ..Lightweight, but less holding power that the standard stakes.

d. Snow Stakes: ....The most common method is to bury objects with a great deal of surface area in the snow i.e. branches,

........................aluminum pie plates, stuff sacks or tent bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the dead

........................man method). Tents can also be secured to snow skis or poles which are stuck into the snow.

ZIPPERS:

If zippers stick, lubricate with silicone. Never force a zipper which has material caught in it, as this will bend the slider and prevent the
zipper from closing. Continual use in a sandy environment can cause the slider to erode and fail to close the zipper.

STORAGE:

Tents should be stored dry and loosely folded, away from heat and water. Keep out of reach of mice as they like to nest in tents. Never
store directly on concrete, as moisture and chemicals in concrete may damage the nylon.

WASHING:

Hand wash with a sponge, using a mild soap. Never use detergents or washing machines as they may damage the coating or seams. re­member to use seam sealer once tent had been washed to insure waterproofing.

HOW LONG WILL A NYLON TENT LAST?

Various conditions will affect the length of service which you receive:

a. A nylon tent which is left erected all summer may last only one or two seasons, as the sun’s ultra-violet rays damage the nylon.

b. Never store a tent wet or damp, as mildew may develop. It will not harm nylon, however, mildew is unsightly and may damage

other parts of the tent (i.e. zipper tapes).

c. Avoid spraying insect repellent or hair sprays, etc. on tent fabric as they may be harmful.

REPAIR:

For small tears use a an adhesive backed rip-stop nylon patch. We recommend Texsport Nylon Tent Repair Kit which may be found at
your local outdoor outfitter or camping store.
